- Huawei made a surprise that shocked the technology industry when it launched the Mate 60 Pro last August. This cellphone marks Huawei's comeback in the flagship market, because it supports 5G networks.
The United States (US) immediately reacted by completely blocking all components and advanced chip manufacturing equipment from China. They accused Huawei of violating trade sanctions because it could access chips to support 5G networks.
After that excitement, now Huawei will present a new surprise. The Chinese giant is said to be launching the P70 series in the near future.
This was known from a post on Weibo, a Chinese social media similar to X (formerly Twitter). From leaks, it is known that Huawei is working again with SMIC to produce CMOS camera sensors for its newest cellphones.
The P70 series itself is predicted to be introduced early next year, quoted from PhoneArena, Tuesday (7/11/2023).
Huawei is said to no longer stock Sony camera sensors. The manufacturer can also no longer access Sony technology, after their business relationship was terminated by the Japanese technology giant.
So far, Huawei's P series is famous for its excellence in the photography sector. If you can't get sensors from Sony, it's not impossible that Huawei will try hard to produce its own sensors.
However, this is not easy. Most smartphone vendors have relied on camera sensors from third party vendors such as Sony and Samsung. In fact, Apple, which only designs camera processor applications, still relies on camera sensors made by Sony.
Last year, Huawei also lost its photography partnership with Leica. This forced Huawei to produce its own photography system called Xmage.
Huawei's mentality of always trying to get rid of dependence after being abandoned by vendors seems to have given the manufacturer a strong competitive edge.
After making its own operating system, its own chip, and its own camera processing, will Huawei succeed in developing its own camera sensor? Let's just wait until the launch of the P70 in the near future.
Huawei Siapkan Kejutan Baru, Joe Biden Bisa Murka Lagi

- Huawei bikin kejutan yang menghebohkan industri teknologi saat meluncurkan Mate 60 Pro pada Agustus lalu. HP tersebut menandai comeback-nya Huawei di pasar flagship, karena sudah mendukung jaringan 5G.
Amerika Serikat (AS) langsung bereaksi dengan memblokir total seluruh komponen dan alat manufaktur chip canggih ke China. Mereka menuduh Huawei melanggar sanksi dagang karena bisa mengakses chip untuk dukungan jaringan 5G.
Setelah kehebohan itu, kini Huawei akan menghadirkan kejutan baru. Raksasa China itu disebut akan meluncurkan seri P70 dalam waktu dekat.
Hal itu diketahui dari sebuah postingan di Weibo, media sosial China serupa X (dulunya Twitter). Dari bocoran, diketahui bahwa Huawei kembali bekerja sama dengan SMIC untuk memproduksi sensor kamera CMOS untuk HP teranyarnya.
Seri P70 sendiri digadang-gadang akan diperkenalkan pada awal tahun depan, dikutip dari PhoneArena, Selasa (7/11/2023).
Huawei disebut tak lagi menyimpan sensor kamera Sony. Pabrikan itu juga tak bisa lagi mengakses teknologi Sony, setelah hubungan bisnis keduanya diputus oleh raksasa teknologi Jepang tersebut.
Selama ini, seri P dari Huawei terkenal dengan keunggulan di sektor fotografi. Jika tak bisa mendapat sensor dari Sony, bukan tak mungkin Huawei berupaya keras memproduksi sensor sendiri.
Meski demikian, hal ini tak mudah. Kebanyakan vendor smartphone selama ini mengandalkan sensor kamera dari vendor pihak ketiga seperti Sony dan Samsung. Bahkan, Apple yang merancang aplikasi prosesor kamera saja masih mengandalkan sensor kamera buatan Sony.
Tahun lalu, Huawei juga kehilangan kemitraan fotografi dengan Leica. Hal ini memaksa Huawei memproduksi sistem fotografi sendiri yang dinamai Xmage.
Mentalitas Huawei yang selalu berupaya melepas ketergantungan usai ditinggalkan para vendor agaknya membuat pabrikan tersebut punya daya saing yang tangguh.
Setelah membuat sistem operasi sendiri, chip sendiri, hingga pemrosesan kamera sendiri, apakah Huawei akan berhasil mengembangkan sensor kamera sendiri? Kita tunggu saja hingga peluncuran P70 dalam waktu dekat.
